Publications

Publications reported in Scopus as of 01/04/2021. My total number of Scopus publications is 228. Consider a plot of publication quantity by year. Clearly, the period from 2011 to 2012 was my productivity high water mark with 46 publications in 2 years.

Here are journals I publish in the most (4 or more times). Some journals I really like, and have published in, but (sadly) didn't make it to this list include JRSSA (1), JRSSB (2), Biometrika (1), IEEE TMI (1), Neurology (2), JCGS (3), AJE (2), Brain (2), JAMA Neurology (2), JAMA (1) and Neuroimage Clinical (2).

I have published with 625 coauthors. Here is a list of authors that I have had 10 or over manuscripts with.

Here's a wordcloud of words in the titles (excluding common use words, in the shape of an axial brain slice).
